Well I found my external hard drive. It had been missing since the move into our new house. I found it in the garage after some searching. I needed it for work. I was going through the files and forgot that I had stored a bunch of pictures. On it were some of my dad. I have to admit they made me smile. Then I started missing him again.
I also found a book that he gave me. It was a great treasure hunt that day. The book he gave me is a book of geneology that my cousin Don Harris gave me. It had some great pictures in it and I am happy to have it. I love my family name. I love where I come from. We have a great history. Not at all perfect by any means but for the great majority of the history that I know we Harris' are good people. I look forward to knowing more of the stories. I told Aunt Madeline about the blog but I don't think she has been here. I want to hear some stories that I don't know. One thing that the funeral opened up is that there is a whole life that my father led that not only did I not know about but I wasn't remotely involved in it. His relationships with Kathy and her kids. I saw pictures that were seemingly good times that I knew nothing about. Hope to know some.

I had some good times with you dad as well. When going to the reunion the last time, we camped in the mountains of Wyoming. So peaceful and beautiful. He did the cooking, which I am glad he did. So good! I probably don't need to tell you how good of a cook he was, do I? Well, many others may not know, so I guess I am telling them that. I don't think that you Todd have access to ancestry.com, so here is my e-mail address to send me yours, and this goes for everyone. It is kath@cableone.net. There you will find stories and family history and pictures of history that some of you may not even know about. Genealogy is a hobby of mine and has been for quite some time. It can be a costly hobby, like so may hobbies are, but I don't mind, as it is so important to me and the family to keep it going. I have found some of our family through the site as well and pictures that I don't have anyway.

Hello, Todd and all. Todd, how do I add some pictures? I have looked high and low, and I cannot find an upload.
